Inviting interested researchers to join a new Interagency Modeling and Analysis Group (IMAG) – Multi-scale Modeling Consortium (MSM) Working Group (WG) entitled MULTISCALE MODELING AND VIRAL PANDEMICS. The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has provided a striking example of the real-world importance of mathematical and computational modeling.
Though significant work has been done on epidemiology models, we currently lack reusable multiscale, mechanism-based tools for the modeling of viral infections. The working group will initially focus on within-host scales, in particular the complex interactions between viral infection, host physiology, and the immune system. A long-term deliverable of the group will be a strategy for a coordinated multi-scale modeling effort for improved response to viral pandemics.
